World Families Forums - Ledbetter Family Pedigrees

ARCHIVAL COPY

WorldFamilies has changed our Forum Operating system and migrated the postings from the prior system. We hope that you’ll find this new system easier to use and we expect it to manage spammers much better. If you can’t find an old posting, please check our Legacy Forum to see if you can see the old posting there.

We invite you to submit your "Pedigree" for this Surname. Our Surname Project is primarily interested in your Paternal line, as surnames are passed down from father to son, just as the yDNA is passed down.

If you ARE A MEMBER of this Surname Project at Family Tree DNA, send your pedigree by email to WorldFamilies.net at mari@worldfamilies.net. The pedigree will then be posted on the Surname Project's Patriarchs Page by Worldfamilies.net or sent to the Project’s Administrator.

Please include the following:• Name of project• Kit Number• Name of person posting pedigree• Email address to be posted with pedigree• Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse of Earliest Known Ancestor• List each succeeding generation, using only those four items of information (or substitute another item of information if missing an item)

(If you have more information you would like to share, you may also post a more extended version of your family pedigree on the project website’s Pedigree Forum below)

If you are NOT A MEMBER of this Surname Project at Family Tree DNA, you are welcome to post your pedigree on the Pedigree Forum below. We hope an interested researcher will see it and contact you to share information.

I am writing to submit the pedigree of my grandfather, Albert Dorsey MORRIS, for whom I have a 25-marker result DNA test completed. He did match LEDBETTERS as both a 25 marker exact match and a few 25 marker 1 distance matches.

We also have oral history that our earliest known MORRIS ancestor, Laban MORRIS (b. abt 1784, Craven or Beaufort County, NC) was actually a LEDBETTER by birth.

I am descended from Emaline Ledbetter b. 1829 daughter of Alsey Ledbetter b. 1779 now ascertained to be son of Daughter Ledbetter b. 1759 and most probably a ? Hatley, daughter of William Ledbetter b. 1749 and Mary Cheeves. Since Alsey has now been discovered to not be in the paternal line (he was adopted by his grandfather, William), does one submit a pedigree or is considered ineligible?
